.SH NAME
sysnotify \- Creates a notification window with a title and message.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtk sysnotify\fR \fItitle\fR \fImessage\fR
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBtk sysnotify\fR command creates a platform-specific system notification alert. Its intent is to provide a brief, unobtrusive notification to the user by popping up a window that briefly appears in a corner of the screen.
.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
Here is an example of the \fBtk sysnotify\fR code:
.CS
tk sysnotify "Alert" "This is just a test of the Tk System Notification Code."
.CE
.SH PLATFORM NOTES
.PP
The macOS and Windows versions are native implementations using system
API's. The X11 version has a conditional dependency on libnotify, and
falls back to a Tcl-only implementation if libnotify is not installed. On
each platform the notification includes a platform-specific default image to
accompany the text.
.
.TP
\fBmacOS\fR
.
The macOS version will request permission from the user to authorize
notifications. This must be activated in Apple's System Preferences Notifications section.
.TP
\fBWindows\fR
.
The image is taken from the systray i.e. a sysnotify can only be
called when a systray was installed.
.
.SH KEYWORDS
notify, alert
